Kaos GL Association Launches Its Voluntary Internship Program

Kaos GL Association launches its voluntary internship program. It gives internship opportunity for students from different disciplines. Kaos Gay and Lesbian Cultural Research and Solidarity Association (Kaos GL) is an NGO working on LGBT rights and freedom. 

 

Voluntary Internship Program: Kaos GL is working on areas such as media, human rights/laws, health (sexual health, psychiatry-psychology), education, sheltering and social services. Its main focuses are Kaos GL Magazine, the web-page, Anti-Homophobia Meeting and Refugee Support Program.

 

Voluntary work makes up a great deal of what Kaos GL is doing. Voluntary interns are expected to spare at least 8 hours per week for a period of 3 months.

 

You can participate in the program any time you like during the year. Volunteers included in the program take responsibilities in all work fields of Kaos GL. The coordination and the supervision of the voluntary interns are organized under a institutional work-sharing. The voluntary interns attend in-house trainings, case discussions and coordination meetings from time to time.

They are informed about how Kaos GL is working on legal support and advocacy. The languages of the program are English and Turkish. Besides that, Persian and Arabic would be helpful for the Refugee Support Program.
